Three copyright cases have shocked the cross-border community, and 100+ images have been attacked by human rights advocates!

It's amazing that in 2025, three major copyright cases broke out one after another in the e-commerce world! These cases, involving the defense of more than 100 copyrighted images, have sounded the alarm for Taiwanese sellers on global e-commerce platforms. These cases not only affected the normal operation of the accused sellers, but also brought a profound warning to the entire cross-border e-commerce industry.

The first case came from YUMEI SHI, a seller of children's clothing, whose lawsuit involved 31 copyrighted works, including over 100 images of children's clothing and 18 illustrations. The scope of the case is much broader than what you might expect from a simple infringement, and on May 5, a preliminary injunction was granted and the case is still ongoing.

Did you know? Tane Hannah Meets, the subject of the second case, is a freelance artist whose designs appeal to both children and adults. Most surprisingly, she has no formal art training, but through self-study and her mother's guidance, she has created a unique artistic style.

The third plaintiff, Elena Kolotusha, is a Russian-born artist who now lives in Melbourne, Australia. She is known for her detailed animal paintings and hyper-realistic still lifes, with a particular specialty in capturing the details of animal hair, creating a realistic effect down to the individual hair.

Cross-border exporters and brands need to be particularly aware that preliminary injunctions have been granted in these cases, meaning that the courts have found that the plaintiffs' claims have some merit.
